Proud of my chippy

A new article* about the chippy. This is in a city-wide paper read by the younger crowd.

Probiotics

Here's more evidence that you should be drinking your kefir. A study showed that children taking probiotics were sick less often and with shorter durations than children who did not take probiotics.

Big Ben

It turns out that Ben does not like fireworks. Last night I was trying to watch a movie (because Mick was busy and I don't particularly like fireworks) and Ben wanted to be really close to me all night.

He got progressively more clingy as the fireworks celebrations got more festive.

By the end of the night, he was very tired but was trying to keep his head in my lap.

I have the towel in my lap to protect me and my clothing from his drool. Seriously.
